"O LORD, hear me as I pray."

Psalm 5:1

Isn't this what we long for? Isn't this our desire?

As we lift up the people in Ukraine and the senseless aggression, a senseless war: LORD, hear our prayer.

As we ask for healing and resolution from this COVID pandemic that his killed over 6 million people world-wide and sickened more than half a billion: LORD, hear our prayer.

For those who have lost businesses, jobs and a place to live because of the lockdowns and economy: LORD, hear our prayer.

For family members recovering from surgery or receiving treatment for illness and pain: LORD, hear our prayer.

For those living lonely lives who have no one to help them carry the burdens of their day: LORD, hear our prayer.

As we seek to know you better, day by day to walk alongside you: LORD, hear our prayer.

AMEN.
